do not date a girl
who writes.
she will internalize
everything,
carve poems
into your eyelashes
instead of
kissing them,

she will analyze you,
calculate age
from the rings
your coffee cup
leaves
instead of refilling it.

she will memorize
the way your
lips curl around steam,
but not that you
take it
two sugars,
no cream.

she will read your
palm instead of
holding it
against her chest.

she will not
blink
when you leave,
because she is
already
romanticizing it.

I never once told you that I'm doing just fine.
Well, forget it now, i said never mind.
But, keep in mind, youre heart is just fine, i treated yours with love but you never did mine.
Fine, this time, youll be on my mind never, ever again, is what you recommend?
You expect I care now when you never did mind?
This "us" has run its time.
